Pretoria East residents such as Jan-Hendrik Liebetrau have lived to tell the story of a hijacking attempt that saw him run through bushes in Mamelodi while being shot at. pretorianews
Pretoria - Crime statistics released last Friday showed that the east of Pretoria was a major hotbed for crime.
He said before he knew it a shot rang out on the other side as the guys saw the shovel in his colleague's hand, thinking he was about to attack them. “In my head, I kept thinking they had killed Samuel. I didn't know they missed him and thought he was dead. While running, I tripped and fell. As I tried to get up, I turned and I was met with the gun.
“My wife tried to phone me, but I had to reject the call so as not to make a sound until I reached a safe point where I called her that was after running for over an hour in the dense bushes with thorns pricking me all over. I told her to call my uncle, Simon Riekert, who is a police reservist, to come to fetch me. I sent her a live location, and I started to run again.
